ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which method of birth control would the nurse recommend for the homeless client who has had two (2) unplanned pregnancies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subdermal implants (e.g., Nexplanon) are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, ideal for a homeless client with adherence challenges. Cervical caps, pills, and injections require more effort.
Question 2 of 5
The 25-year-old client who has a C6 spinal cord injury is crying and asks the nurse, 'Why did I have to survive? I wish I was dead.' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A therapeutic response acknowledges feelings and invites discussion, supporting the client’s emotional needs.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis asks the nurse, 'Is it all right for me to wear this copper bracelet to help cure my arthritis?' Which statement by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Copper bracelets may provide placebo pain relief, and allowing their use supports autonomy if not harmful. Questioning, deferring to HCP, or dismissing are less supportive.
Question 4 of 5
The client with venous insufficiency tells the nurse, 'The doctor just told me about my disease and walked out of the room. What am I supposed to do?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Leg elevation reduces edema in venous insufficiency, a practical teaching point addressing the client’s question.
Question 5 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) notices a strange amulet pinned to the client's gown and offers to remove it. The client does not want it removed. Which rationale should the nurse give the UAP for allowing the client to continue to wear the amulet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The amulet likely provides emotional or spiritual support, respecting patient-centered care. Calling it superstitious, silly, or worthless is dismissive and culturally insensitive.
